Should Wolves consider Leicester’s Shinji Okazaki as a wildcard January target?

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo reportedly wants to bring a new striker to Molineux in the January transfer window, which is why he should begin drawing up potential targets.

The West Midlands club could do with some extra competition in attack alongside Raul Jimenez and Ivan Cavaleiro, who are yet to provide serious firepower.

It would be ideal if a new signing had experience in English football and that’s why they should consider a cheeky approach for Leicester City’s Shinji Okazaki.

The 32-year-old has had a great impact in England since his arrival in 2015 and was an integral part of the Foxes team that sensationally won the Premier League title.

His time at the King Power Stadium appears to be drawing to a natural close and he could be a great option for Nuno’s side to consider.

Okazaki has featured for just 40 minutes in the league so far this campaign after falling behind Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho in the pecking order, while his contract at Leicester is also due to expire at the end of the season.

The Japan international still has plenty of life in him yet and he could be a shrewd acquisition by Nuno.

He’s a centre-forward with tremendous work-rate and decent pace, while the way he brings his teammates into play would be well suited at Wolves.

It’s unclear on if this deal would be feasible, but it’s one that would make great sense for both parties.
